Grandia HD Collection and other notes

Playing Grandia again is always awesome, and at the very least, being familiar with the game allows me to show off a little in terms of going after every enemy as I see them in order to try to level up quickly as well as master abilities, since in Grandia, the more you use an ability the faster it will be executed in later battles. Really love the dynamic with Justin and Sue.

We basically knocked out all the introduction and opening set up, went the Sult Ruins, met Liete and set the tone. I was feeling a little worn down so we ended the stream a bit early.

We shall continue Grandia tomorrow night with the next objective being to get the Steamer Pass

For the raid we dropped in on  calyria who was playing Final Fantasy XIV

Work was alright, solid but not overly awesome

Watching Stargate SG-1 season 9 and I can't but laught at how the Ori are basically being presented as the Catholic Church

Finished the WWE commission in one shot today, next story is Kingdom Hearts related which might take two days to write depending on when I wake up

  • Icarian Energy Item: Acquire the Spirit Stone.
  • Charge!: Win your first battle.

Overwatch 2 and other notes

We had a fun night of Overwatch 2 this evening, with PandaSweet joining for the majority of the night. Ended up getting the second of Ramatra's character related achievements and we had a stretch where we won nine matches in a row. We also figured out exactly how is Blizzard turning a profit with that Reinhardt weapon skin, and it comes down to the price point for Prisms which are needed to unlock all the skin's features.

Also worked in a bit of singing with two redentions of Tongue Tied from Red Dwarf  as well as the full version of the Three Amigos Ballad

Overwatch 2 returns next Sunday

Tomorrow's stream will feature Grandia

For the raid we dropped in on intergalacticpants who was playing After Us

Had the worst kale greens I have ever had today... still can't get the taste out of my mouth

Finished the Pokemon commission and next up is a WWE related one, which is actually slated for August, so I am ahead of schedule

Overwatch 2 Achievements

  • Any Means: Eliminate 3 enemies in a single use of Ramattra's Annihilation.

RWBY: Grimm Eclipse and other notes

The big objective for tonight's stream was to do the entire campaign of RWBY Grimm Eclipse as Weiss Schnee and thanking we were able to do so, which was possible because we had Weiss at level 10 with a complete skill set already in place. The only time we had trouble was the very end with the Giant Scorpian and the various androids that keep spawning. Now the question will be when will I do runs as members of team JNPR.

We took a look at RWBY Arrowfell, which is a side-scrolling RPG where you can swap between all four members of the team. We knocked out the first chapter and I think we will add the game to the tour list, but we'll start it over when we finally dedicate time to it. Probably after we play Grandia (which we will start on Monday)

We messed around with RetroMania Wrestling completing the 10 Pounds of Gold as James Storm and getting an achievement as Stevie Richards. It appears the update from earlier this year added a bunch of achievements that are certainly do-able

Tomorrow's stream will feature Overwatch 2

For the raid we dropped in on samaell_alwahm who was playing Zenless Zone Zero 

Finished the My Hero Academia Story commission request, next up is a Pokemon commission story for the last one scheduled for July.

Did some yard work today, ended up going through three things of weed trimmer.... ugh

God Eater: Resurrection and other notes

So we saw some plot advancment in God Eater tonight, with Lidlow apparently getting killed and meeting Alisa who apparently has some serious mental issues. We did get up to the third tier level of missions =, so things are getting harder, as proven with the Urgent Mission that appeared which featured four mid-size enemies which exhausted all of my supplies. Think I might focus more on the story aspect of the game going forward

God Eater Resurrection will return next Friday night

Tomorrow's stream will featuring RWBY: Grimm Eclipse to do a full Weiss run

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama who was playing ToeJam & Earl

Lost internet service from 3:30 PM to around 7 PM, so lost work this evening. This also placed tonight's stream in doubt as well.

Finished the Arrow commission, and got started on the next one which is focused on My Hero Academia, which should be finished tomorrow during the day

God Eater: Resurrection Trophies

  • New Gear: Craft non-clothing equipment for the first time.
  • Camaraderie: Teach an ally a new ability.

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

Tonight we finished Marvel's Midnight Suns with 70 of the 72 achievements unlocked (the last two involve reaching maximum dark side balance and getting the other 71 achievements). I'm at 105 lightside, so I figure pop in doing a mission or two daily and using dark powers will help progress that over.

As far as the ending and final boss battles go, it was incredible and very good payoff, with The Hunter getting a Commander Shepard in Mass Effect 3 / Makoto Yuki in Persona 3 style ending where they end up basically dead / sealed away. But Midnight Suns does tease a sequel involving Doctor Doom which I feel would be awesome.

Would I do a New Game Plus Run? Well that depends on if I want to grind out a huge portion of the game again and take full advantage of the conversations to push towards dark side even faster.

My commentary video for Midnight Suns will be on YouTube on August 9th

Anyway, RWBY Grimm Eclipse will be featured on Saturday's stream and on Monday Grandia will take over as our main game.

Tomorrow night we're playing God Eater Ressurection

For the raid we dropped in on abenonymous who was playing Marvel's Spider-Man 

Work was a lot better than it was last night by a wide margin

Nearly finished the Arrow commission, just needs an epilogue to close it out

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

  • Extracurricular Activities: Attended all Abbey Club meetings in a single campaign.
  • Family is Forever: Completed the Transia story missions.

Sea of Thieves and other notes

Iceman and I had our fair share of misadventures, with our ship getting sunk twice, having to use a row boat to get loot back to an outpost,  finding the Dutchess bountyand battling other vessels. It was rather hilarious to a large degree at times, as is expected with Sea of Thieves.

Sea of Thieves is slated for next Wednesday

Our next stream will feature Marvel's Midnight Suns and we got to hope the abbey clubs start happening to wrap those up

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama for their Zone-Out stream

Work was a complete drag, over 400 contacts made with only 1 complete to show for it

Finished the Persona 3 Commission request, hopefully the client pays for it without me having to send repeated notices. Next story is a quick Arrow one 

Long term planning, considering a couple of nights dedicated to RWBY Grimm Eclipse for achievement hunting, YouTube Commentary and streaming purposes

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

Tonight we banged out four achievements in Marvel's Midnight Suns and we rescued The Hulk as well as saw a huge a lot of character development.We are actually in the home stretch, we have one more major story mission, but we got to delay doing it to get a couple of achievements before the credits roll 

Marvel's Midnight Suns will return on Thursday

Tomorrow we have either Sea of Thieves or Smite on the agenda

For the raid we dropped in on MissCammi316 who was playing Dead By Daylight

Work was solid if a little dry

About 75% finished the Persona 3 related story commission, probably will get $30 to $40 for it 

Comet seems to air Buffy the Vampire Slayer in episode order... but today for whatever reason there was a mix-match of episodes focused on Cordellia
